I believe it has an R600 according to the article on teamxbox.com.

And since there isn't much for info on the ps3 or the Revolution, I can't really say what I'll pick, but chances are it will be an xbox.

Both. That way I just buy the game for the console it plays/looks better on (I'm single, have no debt, and my money is MY money.. so there ).

Of note, where's the Nintendo Revolution in this list? I mean, the thing is gonna be backwards compatible with Cube (sure as hell can't say the same for the Xbox 360.. damn Microsoft... make an emulator then!!), so that counts for something... doesn't it?

I'll have to see all of the consoles before I decide, and even then I'll have to wait until the first price drop before I'll be able to afford one.

PS3 or XBOX360??
I am undecided

I will wait to see what kind of games will support each console
and who can provide the greatest graphics from the 2

The one that has the most childish games\or less attractive games will be the loser for me

Until now Xbox has more mature kind of games from PS2
Well we will see

these consoles now look too expensive, sure it has everything we can ask for almost (even watercooling) but if its gonna be $1000 CDN thats too much. i wouldnt piss my pants in public for that money (maybe a little more )

Probably neither, I've never owned a console, and see no reason to get one.

However, I'd consider getting the X-box and sticking linux on it if that processing power is as good a deal as it looks it may end up being, and if MS doesn't lock out any means of getting linux on it...

I didn't know that the Xbox 360 wasn't backwards compatible. If that's the case, that wasn't a smart move. Tsk Tsk Bill! Anyways, mostly likely it'll be a PS3, although if it's cost an arm and leg, I think I'll forget about it. Also looking to see what's up with the Revolution, because I'm taking of getting a used GameCube for the new Legend of Zelda coming out. Don't know if I should wait until the revolution comes out or not...
